• turn the Temperature regulator towards
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is high or
the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperature, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set
to a higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and therefore
reduced energy consumption.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the
interior and all internal accessories should be
washed with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
Daily use
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn
the temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
CAUTION!
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment
or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
